WHY LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE WORTH IT

Low-floor shuttles and vans are a practical addition to your Sacramento fleet. Here are a few reasons why:

  • Easy boarding: Ramps on numerous low-floor vehicles are practically flat at curb height, making boarding and disembarking effortless for all.
  • Efficiency: Everyone enters or exits quickly with ramps that deploy in seconds, keeping you on time and maintaining interior comfort.
  • Wheelchair-forward placement: Foster a more inclusive environment with wheelchair spaces at the front, aiding sightlines and communication with the driver.
  • Easy ramp system: Simple and quick, manual ramps are easier to maintain than electric lifts and only need to be used one time per stop. 
  • Rider independence: All passengers use the same entry point, eliminating the anxiety some riders experience when entering via a lift. 

Low-floor buses and vans are an excellent fit for various applications, including tour buses, airport shuttles, senior communities, hotel and casino transport, and more. Ready to go low-floor? See what you should consider before you purchase.

WHAT TO THINK ABOUT WHEN SELECTING A LOW-FLOOR BUS OR VAN IN Sacramento

Whether you’re taking residents to medical appointments or running guests to the airport, Model 1 can connect you with a low-floor vehicle perfect for your application. Several the key considerations include: 

  • Capacity: If you must have multiple wheelchair positions and want fewer trips, a larger shuttle is recommended. If ADA seating isn’t needed for all trips and multiple runs are manageable, a smaller vehicle could offer a more practical solution.
  • Cost considerations: Low-floor buses and vans should make things easier for passengers without going over your budget. The financing team at Model 1 can find leasing, purchasing, and rental options to match your situation.
  • Environment: Smaller low-floor vans and minivans provide the maneuverability you need and the gas savings you want for urban routes.
  • Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your regular route is essential for deciding between bigger buses and smaller vehicles. Consider factors such as distance, trip frequency, and roadways.
  • Vehicle longevity: The average lifespan of a new, light-duty bus or van is roughly 7-12 years, or 150,000 to 200,000 miles. In order to reach or exceed those levels, you must have a regular maintenance plan.
